Restarting the audio service can fix microphone problems

Today in the middle of a call my laptop decided to stop getting audio input from its integrated microphone. Running the audio troubleshooter on the microphone didn't do anything, nor did disabling and reenabling the device. It started working again after restarting the audio service (Audiosrv). That can be done with one command from an administrative PowerShell prompt:

Restart-Service Audiosrv
